Hey dear fellows, I've came up with a new problem. I can receive e-mails with Mozilla thunderbird, but I can't send them. I've also installed UebiMiau webmail and sending mails through it works just fine. In Mozilla thunderbird, I've tried to edit my SMTP options to "TLS, if available", "TLS", "SSL". When I did SSL port was changed to something like 465. When trying to connect to that port I've got same error message that is: "The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server ... failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections." So, I've changed SMTP port (in mozilla thunderbird) back to 25 and I still get same error. Tried telnetting to my server, everything seems to be fine. Telnet output: telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 vennezia.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu) ehlo localhost 250-vennezia.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN quit 221 2.0.0 Bye Connection closed by foreign host. Do you have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Faifas
I did not enable firewall in ISPconfig and any other service, so iptables are empty. The output: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Still have no ideas what's going on.
What's the output of Code: netstat -tap ? Any errors in the mail log? Do you use a personal firewall on your PC?
When you use private IP is necessary to enable the firewall in ISPConfig. Management/Server/Services => firewall on

Well, my error log only whines about outdated ClamAV installation. I successfully connect to receive my messages, but logs say nothing about an attempt to send a message: Sep 29 19:13:18 Memphis imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:213.164.120.57] Sep 29 19:13:22 Memphis imapd: LOGIN, user=web1_aivaras, ip=[::ffff:213.164.120.57], port=[1356], protocol=IMAP It is weird that logs say Memphis even though hostname says otherwise aivaras@server:~$ hostname server.whatever.com aivaras@server:~$ hostname -f server.whatever.com Is it supposed to be this way? Another thing: my SSL to ISPconfig panel is broken (untrusted). Tried to create it again by falko's post, still the same problem. I believe these problems could be related, because I need to enable SSL setting when sending an e-mail. Another thing: I was listed in The Spamhaus Project - Policy Block List (PBL) - Email Policy System, but I've removed my server's IP and I still can't send e-mails. Any ideas? EDIT: by the way, I saw falko asking me if I was using antivirus. Yes, in fact on my laptop I've got avast installed, disabled it - still the same.
Can you try to use the server's IP address in your email client? Did you accept all default values when you created the certificate? What message exactly do you see in the browser? Is it Firefox 3? Then you may have to add an exception.
No, I did not accept default values, I've changed them to my own. Yes, I use Firefox 3 and I had to add an exception. Changed my SMTP server to an IP address, still the same, connecting forever.
Erm... that wasn't actually a problem. If I could send e-mails as I've said I would be blocked for open relay. I need to change SMTP server to my ISP's server, or add my home IP to my_networks duh. Anyway, thanks for everybody who were helping me. Faifas
well, I do not use outlook, but thunderbird instead. Anyway I did check that my server requires authentication, but the problem is that I can't even establish a connection.
Where'S your server located? In a data center, or in your local network? If it's in your local network, how do you connect to it? By using a private IP or local hostname, or by using the public IP or the public hostname?
My server is not located in a datacenter or local network. It is in my other home, another city. When I connect to server I use it's public IP.
No, you must ask your Internet service provider if they're blocking port 25. ISPConfig has nothing to do with this.
